If you are not on time and miss the train, you miss it fore-ever. So also the time, once you miss it, it flies off. You can never catch it. Hence it is called fleeting time. Let us learn to use our time fruitfully. This is the key to success.

But now furthermore give me leave to ask: Whether the way of
doing it is this somewhat surprising one, of trying to blockade the con- [] tinent of Africa itself, and to watch slave-ships along the extremely
extensive and unwholesome coast? The enterprise is very
gigantic
and proves hitherto as futile as any enterprise has lately done. Certain wise men once, before this, set about confining the cuckoo by a big
circular wall; but they could not manage it! Watch the coast of
Africa, good part of the coast of the terraqueous globe? And the
living centers of this slave mischief, the live coal that produces all this
world-wide smoke, it appears, lie simply in two points, Cuba and Brazil,
are perfectly accessible and manageable.
If the laws of Heaven do authorize you to keep the whole world in
a pother about this question -- if you really appeal to the Almighty God
upon it, and set common interests, and terrestrial considerations, and
common sense, at defiance in behalf of it -- why, in Heaven's name, not
go to Cuba and Brazil with a sufficiency of 74-gun ships, and signify
to those nefarious countries, that their procedure on the negro question
is too bad; that of all the solicisms now submitted to on earth, it is
the most alarming and transcendent, and, in fact is such that a just
man cannot follow his affairs any longer in the same planet with it;
that they clearly will not, the nefarious populations will not, for love
or fear, watching or entreaty, respect the rights of the
negro enough;
wherefore you here, with your seventy-fours. are come to be king over
them, and will, on the spot, henceforth see for yourselves that they do
it. Why not, if Heaven do send you? The thing can be done; easily.
if you are sure of that proviso. It can be done, it is the way to "suppress the slave-trade;" and so far as yet appears, the one way.

[170] Thereafter, would that I were not among the men of the fifth generation, but either had died before or been born afterwards. For now truly is a race of iron, and men never rest from labour and sorrow by day, and from perishing by night; and the gods shall lay sore trouble upon them. But, notwithstanding, even these shall have some good mingled with their evils. And Zeus will destroy this race of mortal men also when they come to have grey hair on the temples at their birth. The father will not agree with his children, nor the children with their father, nor guest with his host, nor comrade with comrade; nor will brother be dear to brother as aforetime. Men will dishonour their parents as they grow quickly old, and will carp at them, chiding them with bitter words, hard-hearted they, not knowing the fear of the gods. They will not repay their aged parents the cost their nurture, for might shall be their right: and one man will sack another's city. There will be no favour for the man who keeps his oath or for the just or for the good; but rather men will praise the evil-doer and his violent dealing. Strength will be right and reverence will cease to be; and the wicked will hurt the worthy man, speaking false words against him, and will swear an oath upon them. Envy, foul-mouthed, delighting in evil, with scowling face, will go along with wretched men one and all. And then Aidos and Nemesis [shame of wrongdoing and indignation against the wrongdoer], with their sweet forms wrapped in white robes, will go from the wide-pathed earth and forsake mankind to join the company of the deathless gods: and bitter sorrows will be left for mortal men, and there will be no help against evil.

Why does the narrator "weep" in the final line? Does he or she mourn the actual death of a loved one? If not death, then what cause the weeping?
